“…Wagner et al (2001) observed that the use of telephone, for example, allows for more intensive cost-efficient follow-up of chronically ill patients. Kamalam (2005) stated that follow-up services are done in some problems identified in Health Centre, Schools and hospitals. The implications of these findings are that follow-up care of the chronically ill patient ensures continuity of care, reduces relapse in the client's condition, reduces rate of hospital redmissions of the client, promotes the client's self-management ability and also increases the client's self esteem.…”

Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire on nursing interventions in integrated management of chronically ill patients. Standard descriptive statistics was used to summarize the variables. Mean scores were used to answer the research questions while chi-square test was adopted in testing the hypotheses at 0.01 level of significance. The result indicated high level of nurse-client interaction (mean = 3.1368) but average level of follow-up care (mean =2.1556) of clients by nurses. Client's medical diagnosis was observed to have significant influence on nurseclient interaction; also nurse-client interactions was found to differ significantly across the levels of health care institutions.
